There's a lot of wrong answers in this thread, but Wally's got an absurd powerset that lends itself to easy extrapolation of winning bloodlusted fights against anyone who A: Can't tank thousands of stronger than Superman level punches, B: Can't control their molecules to a greater degree than Wally can cause them to explode via phasing (this includes intangibles like J'onn and Vision, since he has and can counter intangibility, because he himself is someone with that power), or C: Don't have the proper means to counter a speed steal (time manipulation).
For what it's worth, he is the living embodiment of a fundamental force of the universe. Avatars of greater powers are frequently hard to beat, it's like asking why Surfer wins so many fights on this forum.
People also seem to forget that the vast majority of Wally's low showings were A: When he couldn't tap the speed force after Barry's death (he got slower when he went from Kid Flash to Flash because of this) or B: When the Speed Force threatened to kill him if he went faster than light for extended periods of time. When he accomplished overcoming these obstacles, his power and abilities skyrocketed. Just imagine how pathetic Surfer would be if extended use of his powers killed him, or if he was cut off from using the vast majority of his Power Cosmic (this has happened a whole lot, actually, and accounts for a lot of Surfer's low showings).
Flash just has really hard to beat powers (FTL Reaction time and combat speed, striking power above Superman's, and the grand daddy of overpowered abilities, Speed Steal. Also Speed Force Dump BFR, but that's only if he can physically move his target which usually means an IMP would beat them). He's a great dueliest who has other limitation when it comes to comic scenarios. He can beat the crap out of Mongul, but it's not like he can tow a planet like Superman.
